New Brighton is one of 93 community water systems in Minnesota in the 10,001 to 100,000 people size category, serving 22,902 people from groundwater.
As of August 1, 2026, its federal record holds 2 entries between 2003 and 2004, all of which EPA lists as closed. Nothing has been added since 2004.
Of the 2, 1 are monitoring and reporting requirements — the category that accounts for about four in five of all violations in EPA's national dataset — rather than findings about the water itself. The record involves the Radionuclides and Revised Rad Rule and the Total Coliform Rules.
